Abstract

A display panel is provided. The display panel includes: a flexible substrate including a display area and a non-display area; a thin film transistor layer formed on the flexible substrate; grooves formed in the thin film transistor layer corresponding to the non-display area; a planarization layer and a pixel definition layer disposed on the thin film transistor layer respectively; bumps formed in the non-display area after patterning the planarization layer and the pixel definition layer; and a light emitting layer and a thin film encapsulation layer formed on the planarization layer in order, wherein the thin film encapsulation layer covers the bumps and the grooves.

Description

FIELD OF THE DISCLOSURE
The present disclosure relates to the technical field of display screens, and more particularly, to a display panel.
DESCRIPTION OF THE RELATED ART
Organic Light-Emitting Diode (OLED) devices, which have the sensitivity to water and oxygen, need to be encapsulated by a thin film after finalizing a light emitting layer in order to reduce the erosion of external water and oxygen, thus prolonging their life.
Thin film encapsulation for OLED devices proceeds after finalizing a light emitting layer. As shown in FIG. 1, a thin film encapsulation layer 10 covers and encapsulates the whole display area 11 together with gate on array (GOA) circuits 12 surrounding the display area 11. When an interlayer dielectric (ILD) film 13 is formed by plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) process, the temperature for the formation need to reach at least 350° C. due to high requirements for qualities of films. Through adjusting working conditions, it can continuously improve stresses between films and thus cause films to match well, without peeling due to the excessive difference of stresses in the same position. However, because light emitting materials are extremely sensitive to temperatures, the thin film encapsulation can only proceed at low temperatures approximately between 80° C. and 100° C., causing the quality of the thin film encapsulation layer 10 to be different from the quality of the ILD film 13 on a thin-film transistor (TFT) substrate and resulting in inconsistent stresses between films. Once the excessive difference of stresses causes films to peel, the effect of the thin film encapsulation will be difficult to be realized. For the portion of display panels on glass substrates, films most easily peel around the edges of the glass substrates.
Therefore, it is required to provide a display panel in order to solve deficiencies existed in current technologies.

Notches filled with organic materials are often arranged in specific bendable areas such as a bonding area of a non-display area in order to improve the flexibility of the parts of the display panel that correspond to the bendable areas. For example, the notches may include a first notch 28 and a second notch 27, wherein the first notch 28 and the second notch 27 can be located in the same position and run through the thin film transistor layer 22 and the buffer layer 21. According to a display panel of the invention, the grooves can be formed in the non-display area surrounding the display area, while forming the first notch 28, the second notch 27 and the through holes 220 of source electrodes and drain electrodes in the thin film transistor layer 22. The edges of the thin film encapsulation layer extend toward the positions of the grooves so that bumps and the grooves are covered by the thin film encapsulation layer and in the non-display area.
Referring to FIG. 3, which is a schematic structural diagram of a display panel according to a second embodiment of the present invention. The second embodiment is different from the first embodiment in that bumps 37 are intertwined with the grooves 36 in a thin film transistor layer. Each of the bumps 37 is formed between the two adjacent grooves 36 while patterning the planarization layer, the pixel definition layer and an organic spacing layer having the spacers in the first embodiment.
